Advice for choosing and replacing wing mirrors on Volkswagen cars sold in Ireland.
About Volkswagen wing mirrors
The Golf is a regular on Irish roads, and mirror specification varies a lot between generations and trims. Some versions have electric fold, memory, auto-dimming glass and blind spot warning, which changes both the glass and the wiring. Painted mirror caps are usually sold separately, and the colour code is found on the car's data plate.

Volkswagen wing mirror FAQs
Why are some VW mirror units so much dearer than others?
Features such as blind spot monitoring, auto-dimming glass, memory and power folding add components. A basic manual mirror is a much simpler part.
Do I need the paint code for a VW mirror cap?
If you want a colour-matched cap, yes. Your reg or the data plate in the boot or service book gives you the code.
Which side is the driver's side Volkswagen wing mirror in Ireland?
The right-hand (offside) mirror. The left-hand (nearside) mirror is the passenger side.
